Chapter 495: Envoy Kills

"My Lord, the Great Hong Ministry of Rites official Shi Zhengjia has come to urge again, saying that half an hour has already passed."

Outside Anshan Pass, etiquette official Zhu Xizhou came to see Xu Jin again, his expression a bit nervous and anxious.

"Just say the wind is strong at night, the speed of pulling camp is quite slow, and please ask them to wait a while longer," Xu Jin said.

"My Lord, this..."

Zhu Xizhou had a bitter face, feeling a bit embarrassed.

But under the gaze of Xu Jin, he still helplessly turned back to say it, looking like he was prepared to be scolded.

Xu Jin sighed helplessly in his heart.

This person is not clever enough!

Just rushing to be scolded like that?

"Hey, come back," Xu Jin called out.

"My Lord, what other instructions?" Zhu Xizhou turned back.

"It's freezing cold, sit down, accompany me for a drink to warm up before you go," Xu Jin said.

It was currently December, and it was the northern border, with cold winds howling; it was the coldest time.

Xu Jin estimated that it was at least minus twenty degrees.

That is to say, those accompanying the diplomatic mission, and those coming to pick up the diplomatic mission, all had cultivation bases; otherwise, staying in the wild for most of the day, freezing a few to death would not be a problem.

Hearing about drinking, Zhu Xizhou was a bit embarrassed, "My Lord, the Great Hong Ministry of Rites official is still waiting for my reply?"

"He asked you for a reply, so you reply! He doesn't pay you a salary!" Xu Jin slowly heated a pot of wine, poured a bowl, and handed it to Zhu Xizhou, who only then reacted and whispered, "My Lord, we have been left out here for a day; if they get impatient and leave, what should we do?"

"If they don't receive the Chen Guo diplomatic mission, who do you think will be anxious in the end? This matter, the Grand Master has already exchanged diplomatic notes with the Great Hong Emperor," Xu Jin sneered.

Zhu Xizhou was stunned for a moment, seemingly understanding a bit, "The Lord means, drag it out?"

"Exactly, they left us out for a day, so we leave them out for a night; it's absolutely not too much."

"But my Lord, what if they urge us urgently? That Ministry of Rites official is fine, but the accompanying commander Li Zhi is as fierce as if he wants to eat people," Zhu Xizhou said.

"Come, I'll teach you a secret! Remember the mantra: we are already doing it, we are already acting, it will be ready soon, they are almost ready. Just say these words in turns! You are an envoy representing Chen Guo; even if you give them ten guts, they wouldn't dare to move you," Xu Jin laughed.

Zhu Xizhou smacked his lips, savoring it, and then gave a bitter smile, "The Lord's mantra is really... shameless! However, it should work!"

Half a while later, Zhu Xizhou went to execute the mantra with a smell of alcohol on him.

Xu Jin even heard a few roars.

Late at night, cold winds howled.

The Chen Guo diplomatic mission, full of wine and meat, lit torches and entered their respective tents to rest; someone in the middle went up to spy on the military camp and was slashed and injured by Ying Ge.

Then, it was the hard work of etiquette official Zhu Xizhou.

Constantly executing Xu Jin's mantra.

But every time he came back, Xu Jin personally heated up roasted meat and hot wine for this guy.

Only the soldiers and officials of the Great Hong welcoming mission were shivering in the cold wind late at night.

Xu Jin was also observing their situation.

If they really dared to turn around and retreat.

Then Xu Jin would play the hooligan and take the diplomatic mission back to the city directly.

By then, the Grand Master only needed to take this matter directly to the Great Hong Emperor.

The welcoming envoy's team was sent by the Great Hong Emperor, and they arrived at the door of the Great Hong house, but didn't receive them in.

Even if the Great Hong Emperor wouldn't publicly deal with these people, the future of the leading officials would be over.

After all, it was they who missed the time first.

This matter, one investigation and it would be clear.

For an existence at the level of the Great Hong Emperor, any infighting, face, or substance could be accepted.

But there was only one point: the final major event could not be delayed!

It was just like the factional struggle in the imperial court; you can fight.

The Emperor even likes to watch.

But because of the struggle, the national affairs were delayed, then someone would have to be unlucky.

Xu Jin also calculated this point, so he left the Great Hong Ministry of Rites official out.

Of course, he also used that set of secrets to hang that group of people.

This was the bible Xu Jin learned from being deceived countless times when eating at restaurants in his previous life.

Just like that, Zhu Xizhou used Xu Jin's secret to hang the Great Hong Ministry of Rites official Shi Zhengjia for a whole night.

Constantly giving them hope, constantly dragging them along.

Until the sky was bright, following Xu Jin's order, the elite Star Patrol Guards, who had slept well for a night, quickly pulled camp and gathered.

"Sorry for the wait! Sorry for the wait, Lord Shi."

Xu Jin and the members of the diplomatic mission finally let the Great Hong Ministry of Rites official Shi Zhengjia see them.

Shi Zhengjia, who had waited for a night in the cold wind and whose face was pale, flew into a rage after meeting.

"Lord Xu, why did you tease the old man!"

On the side, Great Hong military marquis Li Zhi and a group of officers all glared at Xu Jin and the others.

This night was not easy.

Even with a cultivation base, they were almost frozen stiff.

Yet on the Chen Guo side, every time it wasn't that they were almost ready, it was that they would be here soon, and they had already gathered.

But they just couldn't see anyone!

Hearing this, Xu Jin looked at etiquette official Zhu Xizhou in surprise, "Lord Zhu, didn't you say that the Great Hong team welcoming us was blocked in Great Hong territory? I was thinking, the Great Hong official army being blocked in Great Hong territory must be a major event! I even let the soldiers sleep well for a night! If I had known you arrived in time, we would have pulled camp long ago!"

Xu Jin bit down hard on the two words "in time"!

Military marquis Li Zhi in the back had anger spraying from his eyes and was about to speak, but was blocked by Ministry of Rites official Shi Zhengjia.

"Lord Xu, why tease the old man!"

"By the way, I was just about to notify Grand Master Cheng to ask the Great Hong Emperor about this matter, whether there was a rebellion in your Great Hong territory that blocked your way. I don't know if your Great Hong needs reinforcements to quell the rebellion? If you need it, we can help for free!" Xu Jin laughed, showing a mouthful of white teeth, looking harmless.

But Ministry of Rites official Shi Zhengjia gasped.

Xu Jin's words were a bit scary.

If this matter were really poked to the Emperor, the unlucky one would definitely be them!

The other party only needed to bite onto the fact that the welcoming team was blocked in Great Hong territory and guess that it was a rebellion, which would be enough to make the Emperor lose face.

If the Emperor loses face, even if they don't lose their heads, they will lose their future!

After pondering, Great Hong Ministry of Rites official Shi Zhengjia took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and squeezed out a smile on his pale face, "Communication was blocked; this should be the reason for untimely communication. Since the diplomatic mission is ready, let's check the identities and set off."

"Please!"

"Please!"

On December 6th, the Chen Guo diplomatic mission finally passed through the Great Hong border Anshan Pass, and under the escort of Great Hong's six star boats, flew straight to the Great Hong imperial capital, Changle City.

The territory of Great Hong was one-third larger than that of Chen Guo.

Anshan Pass was about thirteen thousand miles away from the Great Hong imperial capital, Changle City; the star boats maintained a uniform speed and flew continuously for two days before landing outside the Great Hong imperial capital, Changle City.

Originally, the star boats could fly directly into the Great Hong imperial capital.

But the rule of the Great Hong Ministry of Rites was that foreign star boats could not fly into the city.

Foreign envoys could only walk into the city.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do; Xu Jin happily accepted this point.

Although the rules were set by them, since they were set, he accepted them.

Very quickly, the national gifts carried in the star boats were loaded onto carriages, a full five hundred carriages, and then the Chen Guo diplomatic mission had to enter the city through the North Gate, and according to the requirements of the Great Hong Ministry of Rites, pass through half the city before staying at the Four Directions Hall.

Subsequently, the Chief Envoy Xu Jin would submit the credentials for the audience to the Great Hong Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites would present them to the Great Hong Emperor, and then an audience date would be scheduled.

The basic process was like this.

Although boring, diplomatic missions were like this, so Xu Jin listened to their arrangements.

Anyway, it didn't delay Xu Jin's practice.

The azalea Xu Jin held in his arms was as red as blood and bloomed extremely brilliantly.

In the past few days, besides condensing the Cloud Tower, Xu Jin held a pot of azaleas even when sleeping, just to sense the life rhythm of the azaleas.

He hoped to enter the door of the intermediate Seven-Kill Sword Heart.

The arrangements for entering the city were all in good order.

Suddenly, Great Hong military marquis Li Zhi and Chen Guo military marquis Lei Qi started arguing.

"No, this is absolutely impossible!" "If you insist, then if there is a safety problem later, you will be responsible for it!"

"Responsible for it! But rolling up the flags and walking is absolutely impossible!" Lei Qi said angrily.

"What's going on?" Xu Jin naturally went over to ask.

"My Lord, they want us to roll up the flags when entering the city and not display any flags related to Chen Guo," Lei Qi said urgently.

"Hmm?"

Xu Jin's gaze was like a torch as he stared at Great Hong military marquis Li Zhi, "Military Marquis Li, what does this mean?"

Facing Xu Jin, Li Zhi was not afraid at all; his cultivation base was at the Sixth-Tier Ninth Layer peak, so naturally, he was not afraid of Xu Jin, this Sixth-Tier Seventh Layer envoy.

But what surprised him was that the gaze Xu Jin looked at him with actually made him feel like he didn't dare to look directly!

This was a bit strange.

"Lord Xu, it's not that we don't let you display flags, but for your safety! Previously, the conflict between Chen Guo and Great Hong caused many deaths. Many of the families of the deceased are in Changle City; a month ago, Changle City could be said to be half-covered in white banners! The residents of Changle City now have deep resentment toward Chen Guo! If you insist on displaying flags, if you encounter an accident and get injured, don't blame us for not reminding you! Even if you take it to the Emperor, it's you who didn't listen to the command first. It's not that we didn't do our best!" Li Zhi said loudly.

"My Lord, our Chen Guo is a dignified diplomatic mission; how can we not display flags?" Lei Qi was anxious.

Xu Jin waved his hand, stopping Lei Qi, and then looked at Li Zhi, "Not displaying flags is impossible! As for the rest, I don't care; we are a diplomatic mission, and safety is now your responsibility!"

The next instant, Xu Jin held an azalea in his arms, stepped on a warhorse, and shouted, "Display flags, enter the city!"

In the sound of swishing, the Chen Guo diplomatic mission's ceremonial equipment fluttered, and the leading Chen Guo battle flag was even more ferocious.

Li Zhi looked at it with hatred!

But there was nothing he could do!

Just as Xu Jin said, safety was their responsibility!

There are no small matters in diplomacy!

They still had to do their best.

The impact of the Chen Guo diplomatic mission entering the city was even greater than Xu Jin had imagined.

Originally, it was just a random event, but suddenly, large batches of Great Hong citizens swarmed into the streets, and in the blink of an eye, the streets were surrounded so tightly that not even water could pass through.

Li Zhi and the others could only try their best to open the way and try their best to persuade them.

But they couldn't stop the anger of the Great Hong people.

Not long after walking, I don't know who took the lead, but all kinds of rotten vegetable leaves, eggs, and even stones were thrown from the crowd.

In an instant, the entire diplomatic mission became incomparably embarrassed.

Along with the Great Hong elites who were escorting them, they also suffered.

Xu Jin looked at this scene and was angry.

Who would believe that this wasn't organized!

It's really thinking that rotten vegetable leaves and eggs can be picked up casually.

Ordinary people usually can't even bear to eat eggs, so who would bear to throw them at people!

The next instant, Xu Jin instantly stepped on the stars and rose, rushing to the front of the team, and his thunderous roar instantly rang through the entire city, "Chen Guo envoy Xu Jin is here; if you have the guts, come and fight. Hiding behind and throwing eggs, what kind of skill is that!"

Those Great Hong people who were throwing vegetable leaves and eggs stopped their actions instantly, at a loss.

But they only stopped for a moment, and these people seemed to have received some instructions, continuing to throw vegetable leaves over.

Someone must have instructed them!

Xu Jin urged the Clear Record Star Pattern to the extreme, and roared again, "Could it be that the men of Great Hong are all goods without eggs! I, the Chen Guo envoy, have challenged you to your door, and yet not one dares to fight! Great Hong, is there no man..."

"Arrogant, Great Hong's Chen Qixian is here, specifically to accept the challenge!"

In the angry shout, a streak of starlight flew down from the tall building in the distance, rushing toward Xu Jin; it was a Great Hong elite of the Sixth-Tier Fifth Layer.

The moment he flew out, the Cloud Tower appeared behind him, firelight surged, obviously using his full strength.

"Just you, get lost!"

With a wave of his hand, a furious spear shot into the sky, fast as lightning.

As the starlight flashed, the golden furious spear had already shattered Chen Qixian's Cloud Tower, shattered his starlight, and his protective star armor, directly piercing into his chest and abdomen, pinning him firmly to the seven-story tall building of the other party.

"Who else!"

"Me!"

In the loud shout, another Great Hong elite of the Sixth-Tier Seventh Layer flew out and charged at Xu Jin.

"Well come!"

With a casual wave, it was still an ordinary furious spear, pinning this Great Hong elite to the tall building on the street again.

"Does Great Hong have any men left? Send a few more!"

"Thief, you are looking for death!"

In the angry rebuke, four Sixth-Tier experts flew out from the tall buildings on both sides and pounced on Xu Jin.

Xu Jin didn't even look, and with a wave of his hand, it was still a furious spear.

This time, it was just four!

The sound of breaking through the air flashed, and all four were pinned to the tall building on the street.

Six people in total, all pierced through the abdomen, pinned to the building, only seriously injured, not the kind that died.

However, these guys were also tough, one by one saying nothing, biting their teeth and enduring the severe pain.

"Da Hong, are there no men left?"

No one threw vegetable leaves, and no one dared to throw eggs.

But no one dared to challenge either!

Seeing this, Xu Jin looked up to the sky and laughed, "Is this all Great Hong has?"

"Good guts!"

"Great Hong's Nan Nan Gong Zhi, specifically here to meet you!"

In the distance, a stream of light arrived by sword, elegant as an immortal.

The Great Hong citizens below also exclaimed.

Seventh-Tier!

Nan Nan Gong Zhi, he is Seventh-Tier!

The sword light circled handsomely in the sky, and a sword light shot into the sky again, fast and handsome, then slashed toward Xu Jin.

"Whoosh!"

The sword light slashed toward Xu Jin's face.

Looking at the slashing sword light, Xu Jin sneered, neither defending nor avoiding.

The moment the sword light slashed, he reached out with two fingers lightly.

Click!

In an

A whistling sound flashed by, pinning the four men to the high-rise building along the street.

All six men, front and back, had their abdomens pierced and were pinned to the building; they were only heavily wounded, not dead.

However, these men were tough; one by one, they remained silent, gritting their teeth to endure the excruciating pain.

Following Xu Jin's continuous strikes, the swarming crowd finally quieted down.

No one threw vegetable leaves anymore, and no one dared to throw eggs either.

But no one dared to challenge him either!

Seeing this, Xu Jin looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Is this all you Da Hong have?"

"How bold!"

"Nangong Zhi of Da Hong, here to have a go!"

In the distance, a streak of light arrived on a sword, elegant as an immortal.

The people of Da Hong below also exclaimed in surprise.

Seventh Tier!

Nangong Zhi is a Seventh Tier!

The sword light circled down handsomely in the sky, then a streak of sword light shot up swiftly and dashingly, slashing toward Xu Jin.

"Whoosh!"

The sword light slashed directly at Xu Jin's face.

Watching the incoming sword light, Xu Jin sneered, neither defending nor dodging.

The moment the sword light arrived, he reached out two fingers lightly.

Crack!

In an instant, he gripped the flying sword tightly in his hand, his face cold.

The Spirit Era Star Palace was gone; he was now the ancestor of object manipulation, yet someone dared to play with flying swords in front of him.

Firelight surged out, and the high temperature melted the flying sword into molten iron.

The next instant, Xu Jin landed and took a step.

Nangong Zhi, the early-stage Seventh Tier who had just vomited blood because his flying sword was destroyed, suddenly felt as if a great mountain had fallen onto his feet.

He was instantly dragged to the ground.

Starlight surged on the ground, binding Nangong Zhi tightly to the floor in a spread-eagled position.

In an instant, the elites of Da Chen who witnessed this scene gasped, shocked beyond measure.

But at that very same moment, suddenly, exclamations rang out from behind.

"Murder!"

"The Da Chen envoy has committed murder!"

"The Da Chen scoundrel actually dares to kill our Da Hong citizens in the capital, fight them!"

In an instant, everyone's attention turned to the back, and as roars rose like a tide and public sentiment surged, Xu Jin smiled.

His Bright Era Star Pattern was fully activated, sensing with all its might.

He had been waiting for this moment.

The real culprit had finally appeared!

The next instant, a sharp whistling sound of breaking air rang out, and Xu Jin instantly turned into a streak of light and disappeared!
